Hub Sessions

data flow and accessibility are largely perceived as key enablers to support the energy transition and new business opportunities in Europe. Still, several are the barriers towards a pan European approach that could prevent the emergence of new competitive services. H2020 projects have progressed towards innovative approaches to Data Management and cooperated in the framework of the BRIDGE initiative to boost the removal of existing barriers.

Introducing even higher levels of RES generation is challenging the stability of power networks.  New techniques are needed to regulate frequency and voltage in this context.  Both concept development, simulations with hardware in the loop and field trials are needed to validate the techniques as the basis for proposing new and modified network codes and ancillary service definitions.  These challenges are being addressed by the Horizon2020 project RESERVE and initial project results will be presented.

The aim of this presentation is to summarize the key objectives, the approach and the outcomes of an EU co-funded project SmarterEMC2 and in particular the experiences gained from the piloting of Demand Response services in two different settings. One in Greece, with the participation of residential customers, and another in Turkey, with the participation of commercial and industrial customers.
